No matter your preference, you can’t deny that skull tattoos look cool.

Each tattoo artist has done at least one skull tattoo in their career, but few can bring out the true macabre beauty that can only come for a bare skull.

London-based tattoo artist Joao Bosco is one of them.

In his art he often combines lizard-like creatures with the skull, and he is very interested in the mythological creatures from Eastern literature and folklore, which he tends to incorporate in his work.

He specializes in larger tattoo projects, such as full hand and leg sleeves or full back pieces.

Each piece takes time to make, requiring a few sittings to complete, but the end result is worth it all.

Macabre, but mesmerizing.
